Civic

AI agents live in days. The agent integrator for mid-market businesses. Free discovery call. Scope memo in a week. Pick a tier or walk away.

Your agent just tried to delete 2,847 emails from your inbox.

Civic blocked it. Read-only access.

Don't connect your agent to Gmail and hope for the best. Civic is the security layer that sits between your agent and every tool it touches. Guardrails aren't optional. They're built in.

new piece: a field guide to go-to-market, for people who read code.

go-to-market has the same shape as a distributed system. it just shipped with different vocabulary.

[Civic @civickey]

the three failure modes you keep hearing as "the stack is broken" are the exact engineering failures you already know how to fix.

read it once and the acronym soup turns into interface descriptions.

[Chris Hart @hartcb]

Autonomy isn't the goal. Agency is.

At HumanX last week, McCabe, Mehrotra, and Microsoft's chief scientist all landed on the same distinction.

Autonomy = operates without you. Agency = acts on your behalf.

Different products. Different trust models. Different sales conversations.

We build agents. The framing matters.

AI SDRs churn at 50 to 70% a year. The cold-outbound ones burn your sender reputation, then get abandoned.

The signal you already have (someone showing intent on your own site) does not churn. It just sits there unworked.

Building toward the second thing. More soon.

everyone is shipping a chatbot with two api calls and calling it an agent. respectfully, no.

an agent has a goal, tools, a loop that picks the next move, and a receipt for what it did.

no receipt, no agent.

Your lead/prospect/sentiment scoring model is 7 if-statements an intern wrote in 2022, and the whole team's scared to touch it.

That's code.

Version it. Review it. Roll it back when it breaks.

No one needs another AI strategy. You need AI agents live in weeks, not months.

Not a 12 month consulting engagement, seven figures, slides at the end.

Nor a $150K per year SaaS contract, your process adapts to their tool.

Civic ships production agents on your stack in 30 to 90 days. Pilots from $15K to $50K. Audit trail and kill switch on day one. You own the output.

2,000+ developers onboarded to the Civic MCP gateway. The team carries 65 years in financial services, 35 in identity and access, 30 in marketing and adtech, 15 in legal and professional services, 12 in manufacturing, and 10 building AI and agentic systems. Regulated environments, systems of record, audit trails, the same discipline applied to agents.

Free 45 min discovery call, one page scope memo in days.

Your agent can read your Gmail. It can also delete every email in your inbox.

The Civic MCP gateway repo ships Gmail, Calendar, and Postgres guardrail templates. Set the boundaries before your agent starts.

@thehousesf @edgeandnode @titus_k @colintluce @basistheory @tfh_technology @triciawang @AAI_Society What a wonderful panel -- thank you to the Proof of Human Salon Series.

[Civic @civickey]

Thanks to @thehousesf and @edgeandnode for hosting Friday's Proof of Human Salon Series.

Our VP @titus_k on the panel with @colintluce (@basistheory) and Andy Wang (@tfh_technology), moderated by @triciawang (@AAI_Society).

5 takeaways from the conversation.

[Civic @civickey]

@thehousesf @edgeandnode @titus_k @colintluce @basistheory @tfh_technology @triciawang @AAI_Society 5. For now, agents are proxies of humans. Like giving someone your credit card. Existing systems still apply. But new safeguards are needed. Kill switches. Approval flows. Accountability doesn't disappear just because the agent is autonomous.

344,000 GitHub stars. 40,000+ exposed instances. 1,184 malicious skills on ClawHub.

@OpenClaw hosting is a solved problem. Governance isn't.

We wrote about what hosting fixes and what it can't.

We asked one question before building revocation. What if the agent tries to undo its own constraints?

That's why Civic's kill switch lives in chat, not the API. A compromised agent can't revoke its own guardrails.

4 levels. One human in the loop.

AI agents access whatever you give them. No guardrails. No audit trail. No kill switch.

Our VP @titus_k breaks down why access control is core agent infrastructure at #LLMday SF, April 16 at Harness.
